This episode of Church History delves into the life of Arabella Katherine Hankey, born in 1834 in Clapham, London. Raised in a wealthy evangelical family, Kate's life was shaped by Christian values, education, and social prominence.

Her deep commitment to missionary work and evangelism continued despite a serious illness in 1866, during which she wrote the poems that became the beloved hymns "I Love to Tell the Story" and "Tell Me the Old, Old Story."

Today, we are talking about the song Holy, Holy, Holy. Reginald Heber was born into royalty. He was gifted with great intelligence. When the church called him to take a position in India, he went willingly. He stood against injustice and cared for the poor.

He was accepted by society's most elite in his day and loved by the poorest. He wrote a sermon to be preached on Trinity Sunday, where we find our song today.

In today's episode, we delve into the life and legacy of Edward Perronet, the man behind the beloved hymn "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name."

Edward Perronet, born in 1726, was a significant figure within the Methodist movement led by John and Charles Wesley. His bold reformist stance, evident in his critiques of the Church of England hierarchy through works like 'The Mitre,' set him apart as a unique voice for change.

This episode explores the hymn's origins and offers a glimpse into the social and religious landscape of the 18th century.
